Subject: refactor: strip terminal keys section to essentials
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit

Remove 9 explicit key bindings (Home, End, Insert, Backspace, Delete,
Left, Right, PageUp, PageDown) — all already work OOTB in emacs mode
on modern terminals.

Keep only:
- Application mode block (ensures terminfo works during zle)
- Up/Down key lookup (needed for substring-search bindings below)
